Math POTW #4 - Merry Thanksgiving!

Welcome back to the POTW! Great job last week. Please remember to msg me with your answers if your having issues posting comments to the blog. I encourage you to ask questions of your classmates' work too.

Last week, we did see that 12 white marbles would be added to the bag. The bag started with 16 marbles and ended up with a total of 28 marbles. Therefore, 28-16 = 12 white marbles. If you obtained a different answer can you support how or why?

The new POTW for week #4 is:

Math with Milne October

Hello Grade 8s and Grade 8 Parents!

Please ask your child to show you our class' Google Group, as I have posted our October Newsletter to our Group. While you're there, you can also check out our Problems of the Week as well as some of the activities we have been doing in class.

Thanks!

Mr. Milne

POTW #3

Welcome back to another POTW. Good job everyone on last week's question. We are still trying to troubleshoot the issue we've been having with publishing comments. Please don't be deterred by these issues and continue to solve the POTW and send your answers in!

Last week, as many students discovered, the correct answer was 2.6cm^2. There were a few ways to solve it. The most common method was to subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the circle. If you did not get the same answer, can you see or think of why? Take a minute to try and solve the problem again, in a different way.

Your intermediate teachers also want to thank you sincerely for a WONDERFUL field trip to LEEF on Monday. We had a wonderful time seeing you all participate and challenge yourselves. 

Now, please post your comments to this week's POTW below:
